Just a few Qs Saturday morning made via 50MHz MS.

Worked were:
Frank VK7DX @ 2023 (RS55) 1,719km
Brad VK2QO @ 2024 (RS51)  826km
Peter VK5PJ @ 2112 (RS51) 1,547km

Brian VK5BC and his wife Pam are spending time traveling down the east coast, and stopped at 'Yarragib' for the evening... the afternoon was spent talking six metres with (from left to right) Peter VK4APG, Alan VK4WR, myself, Campbell VK4CZ 2nd op, Phil VK4FIL and Brian VK5BC.

Limited opportunity to be involved in 50MHz MS this weekend... a very brief stint at the controls early Saturday before going camping produced a single good contact

Worked was:
Dave VK7DD @ 1939z (RS51) 1,683km

Using the OziPole multi-band dipole, I operated portable for Sat and Sunday from Flanagan's Reserve but only completed one Q Sunday morning:
Alan VK4WR @ 2132z (RS54) ~50km

Also heard was
Brad VK2QO @ 2144z (RS52) 815km

Compared to yesterday, a quick start to 50MHz MS activity today, with some sustained condx allowing some good completed Q to be made....here's this mornings activity summary from QG62lp.

OK the challenge has been set! What is the oldest photo of you using your radio gear?

Here's Brad VK2QO in the late 1970s!

 

And Scott VK4CZ (then VK2JSR) in the mid 1980s!

 

I'll need to find a VK2XGM photo!
